In Volume 3 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak published that.

“On a steep site to the east of the city, this course features three outstanding short par-4 holes at the 7^th, 16^th and 17^th, but the par-4 18^th hitting over fences and across the road is a letdown of a finish.”

The Scarboro Golf and Country Club received a score of 5 out of 10 from Tom Doak.
